Here is our thesis animation completed at RIT.
It is the story of an impetuous Chinese monk who finds he has a thing or two to learn from an unlikely source. The animation is rendered in a brushpainted style reminiscient of old Te Wei films. Enjoy!

Just a beautiful work of art, a case of less is more. Simple patterns flowing with light pastels brought together with flute and beating drums. It brings home a message of Wisdom. A defining piece of cultural art.

The music was great, the animation was fun and dynamic, and the story line was inspirational and provocative. May the way of the Mantis and its spirit endure.

some detail in the graphics might have pulled it off for me-looks like a hand shakes worth of time was spent on it.

Excellent work here. Classic tale of the student learning through observation and deduction of the natural world around him, resulting in his evolution into the master's approval. Much like The Way, this cannot be described, only experienced.

I think the figure/ground movement is nice; makes it seem more real. The music is also very good. Great work!
